PHOENIX (AP) - A man who participated in a fatal carjacking in Tucson when he was 14 years old was given a more lenient prison term Monday, marking one of the first reduced sentences in Arizona in response to a U.S. Supreme Court decision on how juvenile homicide offenders are to be punished.

Jack David Jewitt, now 38, was originally sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of release for his role in the 1993 shooting death of Ellen Marie Knauss, whose body was found in the desert south of Tucson after her SUV had been carjacked from a mall.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to resentence Jewitt to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 28 years, including time served after his arrest.

The deal was approved Monday by Pima County Superior Court Judge Catherine Woods.

The new sentence was the result of a January 2016 Supreme Court decision that concluded mandatory life without parole for juvenile homicide offenders was unconstitutional. The decision is causing ripples in courts across the country.
